From today's Downtown Music Gallery weekly email:

JOHN ZORN With BILL LASWELL/ROB BURGER/KEVIN NORTON - Nosferatu 
(Tzadik 7397; USA)  Created for a modern Polish stage production of 
Bram Stoker's classic vampire tale, Zorn has created a music filled 
with nostalgia, tenderness, violent power and a great sense of 
mystery. Featuring the dark ambient bass tones of Bill Laswell, the 
sensitive keyboards of Rob Burger, Kevin Norton on drums, vibes and 
percussion and Zorn on sax, this is a moody and menacing program of 
music for late night listening. Romantic ballads, ambient soundscapes 
and hardcore intensity! Special Packaging. RELEASED ON THE 100TH 
ANNIVERSARY OF BRAM STOKER'S DEATH - APRIL 20, 1912. TZADIK ARCHIVAL 
SERIES

This should be killer!

After listening:  I've given the CD a few listenings now and can highly recommend it!  If you're looking for a full-throttle Painkiller type sonic assault, you will be disappointed.  Instead, this is a moody, often times romantically melodic score, once or twice, punctuated with brutal bursts and haunting dub grooves.   Zorn carefully composed this piece for a Polish stage play and the dominant instrumentation is piano and vibes with Laswell's semi-transparent fretless basslines and harmonics and Zorn's stuttering alto sax squeals making regular intrusions into the mix.  Overall, excellent!
